A Happy Weekend

Adam played a soccer game on Saturday.  He is on the Blue Knights team and is doing very well.  I think soccer is in the blood in this family (weird since neither David nor I played soccer).

Rebecca played her last soccer game of the season on Saturday and they did a great job.  She is also on Blue Knights and their team has improved so much.  The first few games were a little painful to watch but the last few have been awesome.  The team has really come together and they play well.  They have a great coach too.  Now we have a little break until indoor soccer starts in January.

 

Rachel played her last game of the season last Monday and they took an informal team picture afterwards.  They did a good job.  She is still playing for Sparta and loves every minute of it.

 

Yesterday, Sunday, was an especially nice day.  Joshua gave his farewell talk at church in preparation to leave for his mission on Wednesday.  He did a great job and then we had family and friends over to the house for some food and good byes.

"Y" Mountain

Have you ever hiked to the Y in Provo?  I had never done that... until today.  All these years I've looked up there and always thought I should hike up there but I never actually did it.  The kids had no school today so Rachel, Rebecca, Adam and the dog, Ace, went with me.  It was a pretty good hike.  It was a little steeper than I expected so I was glad I was wearing my knee braces.  I was a little disappointed that I didn't bring my trekking poles, especially for the hike down.  Oh well.

It is really quite amazing to be standing right there at the top of it.  It is so BIG.  We had a good time and then we got to stop and see Tori and Jared for a few minutes and I finally got to see Jared's apartment.  Gotta love those college apartments.

Happy Birthday Rachel

We celebrated Rachel's 14th birthday on Sunday, October 14th.  Wow!  It's hard to believe that she's already 14.  Her gifts all revolved around skiing... sure hope it snows soon.  :)
